The Church was organized on December 31, 1901. Reverend A. D. Dodge served as our Pastor until October 1909. There were just 24 in the new church. In the spring of 1904, the cornerstone was laid for our present church building. Services were held in the vestry beginning in the Fall of 1904. In June 1907, the auditorium was completed and dedicated free of debt as far as pledges were concerned. On December 27, 1911, the last note was burned. In 1918, the church became incorporated and took the name of "The Getchell Street Free Baptist Church of Waterville." In 1918, we also received our first pipe organ, a gift from Carnegie. By 1920, the Sunday School had outgrown its quarters and a building committee was appointed to study plans for raising the church roof and ways to finance the project. In 1928, the church adopted a new Constitution and again changed our name this time to "The Getchell Street United Baptist Church.
